Context of Job 18:19

17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name on the pasture-grounds. 18He is driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. He hath neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any remaining in the places of his sojourn. 20They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before [them] were affrighted. 21Surely, such are the dwellings of the unrighteous man, and such the place of him that knoweth not God.
